Although it is less than three hours from Bangkok, Kiramaya feels a world away from the capital’s urban sprawl. Indeed, the jungle clad hills of Khao Yai National Park – one of Thailand’s most beautiful wilderness areas – are a characteristic of the vistas on this Jack Nicklaus course. The layout itself is an absolute beauty, and is one of the most picturesque in the Kingdom. Camera-ready holes include the course’s signature 16th, a dogleg par-4 that works its way past a large tree and down to a water-protected green.
